Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba(noodles)
Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake, made with flour, eggs, shredded cabbage, meat and toppings as you like. This variability is reflected in the dish's name: "okonomi" literally means "to one's liking". You can eat it everywhere in Japan, but especially Okonomiyaki made Hiroshima style and Osaka style are the most famous.
Okonomiyaki is a favourite food for my family, and I make it at home at least twice a month. I would like to share with you how to make delicious okonomiyaki that you can also make in your own kitchen when you leave Japan. Also, okonomiyaki and beer are the perfect match, so let’s enjoy Japanese beer with okonomiyaki together! After this, we can make tasty yakisoba on the same hotplate, and I can also teach you some useful Japanese cooking phrases if that's interesting for you!
What’s included:
Ingredients and instructions to make okonomiyaki and yakisoba

My name is Shuko, and I am a Japanese language teacher who loves to share Japanese food and culture.
I like listening to music, karaoke singing, and watching musicals. I'm addicted to eating spicy food.
I've been teaching Japanese to foreigners for more than 20years. And I've been cooking Japanese food for my family for 25years.
I really enjoy communicating with people from all over the world.
My kitchen is located between Osaka and Kyoto.

★★★★★I absolutely loved the cooking class with Shuko-san! We met at a major station which was so convenient, and then she took us shopping. It was so great to see exactly what we were buying and what it all looked like so that I can easily shop by myself when I make this recipe at home. She also answered a lot of my questions about other random items we passed. Then we walked to her house near the station - it was so interesting to see the inside of a real Japanese flat! It was a cozy place with lots of space and perfect for a cooking class. When we got there, she gave each of us a paper with the recipe on it and went over it with us step by step. She was so flexible and made sure we knew we could customize our dish with whatever ingredients we wanted. It was all very hands on and a lot of fun. Shuko-san has a fantastic sense of humor and supported us in both English and Japanese. And most importantly, it was delicious! I will definitely take a class with her again!

★★★★★The class was wonderful, and the food was delicious! We took a shopping trip together to learn about the ingredients, which was really helpful. Shuko is also a highly skilled Japanese language teacher, so we were able to learn how to describe what we were making in Japanese. I hope to do it again soon.
